Honest Question

Why is it cheaper to buy the game all over again than to upgrade an existing one to elsweyr if you don't have morrowind or summerset?

I was really looking forward to getting back into the game but it is literally cheaper to just buy the game again than it is to upgrade.
Why did you make this decision ZOS? I have the imperial edition of ESO since it was released but now I'm either looking at starting all over again without any of the stuff I bought or paying a lot more just to catch up.

Its so that its not hugely expensive for brand new players to start playing ESO, since they don't have to purchase the base game + all the things.

If you want to upgrade, but cost is a concern, the DLCs usually go on sale during their anniversary events. The Chapters also go on sale, either during special promotions or some months down the line once they arent selling like hotcakes. It'll take longer, but you can get them for a cheaper price.

No need to worry, you can add a base game to an existing account. You will have everything unlocked, if you don't own it already.
It should be possible to buy the elsweyr (or CE) edition (NO UPGRADE) and add it to via code

Since you asked so honestly, I'll answer honestly too: they need more moneys. if you want to save some moneys buying the whole game again, you cant transfer your characters. So basically you are trapped to having to upgrade for the more expensive price, but get to use it with your account with your beloved characters. The price for the whole game is cheaper because it lures new customers in.
